Anne Hathaway’s nipples have become an overnight hit with their own Twitter account after the Oscar winner’s prominent display on the red carpet.

All eyes were waiting for her highly anticipated arrival to see which designer the 30-year-old would be wearing but as she made her way on to the carpet it was her nipples and not the powder-pink Prada dress that gained the most attention.

Within minutes a Twitter account called @HathawayNipples, run by AnneHathawayNipples, popped up on the micro-blogging site.

‘Anyone else feeling a little chilly #oscars,’ was the first post, soon followed by the hashtag ‘#LesNipplerables’.

After scooping her award for best supporting actress, for her role as Fantine in Les Miserables, the anonymous tweeter wrote: ‘We’d just like to point out that we won Best Supporting Actress without *any* support. #Oscars.’

Looking to quickly become the new @AngiesRightLeg – which amassed tens of thousands of followers after Angelina Jolie’s Oscar appearance last year – almost 2,000 people were following the account within an hour of it going live.

Luckily for the newlywed though fellow Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence managed to take the attention off of Anne’s chest after she took a tumble on the stairs on the way to collect her best actress award.
